Since Super Junior’s Siwon and Donghae were cast to play leading roles for a Taiwanese drama, “Extravagent Challenge“, late last year, they recently attended the drama’s production announcement conference, which was held in Taiwan on March 31st. Their female co-stars, Bianca Bai and Ivy Chen, were also in attendance.
Around 100 fans and reporters swarmed to the scene to catch a glimpse of the actor-idols, and they showed immense curiosity toward whether or not the gentlemen would be partaking in any kiss scenes. The drama’s producer, Niu Cheng Ze, clarified, “After announcing Siwon and Donghae’s casting for this drama, a lot of fans shared their varied opinions on my personal blog. Some are in favor of having kiss scenes, while others aren’t. After observing the opinions, there were a greater percentage of people who wanted to see some kiss scenes. We’re considering filming a male-male kiss scene.”
In response, Siwon added, “To tell you the truth, Donghae and I are currently practicing every night.” Donghae instantaneously blurted, “This is nonsense,” causing everyone at the scene to chuckle.
Siwon and Donghae are planning to stay in Taiwan for two months due to the filming.

On the March 29th broadcast of SBS’s “Strong Heart“, Super Junior’s Eunhyuk gave fans the sad news that he would be temporarily leaving the show.
During the broadcast, Eunhyuk stated, “I have to go to China and Taiwan to greet fans because of Super Junior-M’s promotions.”
Eunhyuk is well-known for bringing laughter through the ‘Teuk Acadamy’ segment, which he shares with fellow Super Junior members Lee Teuk and Shindong.
Eunhyuk added, “Although it’s short-term, I will successfully complete my overseas activities and return.” The MCs replied sadly, “Eunhyuk-sshi, you can’t be gone…” Meanwhile, the ’Strong Heart’ crew members presented Eunhyuk with a golden xylophone as a special gift, causing everyone on set to laugh.
Although he delivered some sad news, Eunhyuk was quick to enliven the atmosphere by sharing stories about how the Super Junior members were ranked, depending on the country. Cute faces like Sungmin and Lee Teuk’s are popular in Japan, while handsome looks like Siwon and Heechul’s are popular in China. In places like Thailand and Malaysia, members with friendly charms like himself connect well with the audience.
Are you sad to see Eunhyuk go? And do you agree with his analysis?
